So it may come as a surprise to fans that Hugh Grant has spoken out in support of gay marriage.

The Notting Hill star has filmed a video on behalf of the Out4Marriage campaign, which asks for equal marital rights for gay couples.

He said: "I'm not a massive believer in marriage, I think my own biography is testament to that. But I do think that love is the same for everyone."

The actor, who has previously dated Elizabeth Hurley and Jemima Khan, added: "I do think that everyone should have the same rights. If you want to get married, whether you're gay, straight, transgender (or) whatever, you should definitely be allowed to do that."
